What motivated me was the desire to get out of being poor. It sucked and was embarrassing.

Too many kids today are given too much. They don't know what it is like to not have a good life and there is no punishment.

After all, aren't all the kids today winners? That is what the schools and the parents tell them and then when they get out in the real world well that's when reality can set in and they find out they are not winners after all.

I agree with Patti too. Not everyone is above average or more. There are a lot more average people out there than most people want to admit.
